language such as words, syllables, rhyming elements in
syllables, and alliteration.”

- exposure to letters
• Word Sorting:
- “classify words, and pictures on the basis of sound
system”
- hands on activity
• Consonant Blends:
- begin with “s” blends and stress the separate sounds
- present words like sack-stack and sand-stand to help students hear
and see the differences
• Blending:
- sound: single or successive
• Patterns:
- CVC
- open-syllable
- final e
- vowel digraph
• Visually

needed)
